I understand why current space suits are the way
they are, but Freeman's suits weren't just some random daydream, he
incorporated design elements based on fighter pilot suits like
pressurized tubing to give the suit structure without compromising
movement, and included helium coolant and even tentacle gloves.

These guys have found a problem. Let's hope they sort it out before it contaminates all their oxygen.

If you can find a copy of First Men to the Moon written by Von Braun and illustrated by Freeman, it's full of this stuff.﻿
